is the surrounding neighborhoods
1:43
where i pay where i paid to park
1:46
75 to 75 bucks but the street parking is
1:49
a little iffy so instead of taking a
1:52
chance coughing up to 75. it's totally
1:55
worth it
1:56
don't be fooled guys
1:58
the signs versus what it says on the
2:00
meters
2:01
definitely check both always check the

someone with binoculars there and up on
8:59
the rooftops of these they will
9:02
sell seats that you can sit at
9:04
you're technically not in the stadium at

way up on top of these old-timey
9:16
buildings
9:17

9:32
gonna have to do that one day
9:34
today i got tickets inside
9:37
one of these days
9:39

property and still watch the game look
9:43
at those clouds
9:45
really hope it doesn't rain later
10:08
oh this is pretty neat

11:29
the opposite side of where the iconic
11:32
sign is but this one should not be
11:34
missed as well around the backside not
11:36
the back side of water

12:36
also fun fact kevin kiermeier's brother
12:39

12:43
kevin kiermar outfielder for the race
12:45
should also add in there are plenty of
12:46
merchandise stores
12:48
all around this area
12:50
for example
12:52
wrigleyville sports right here
12:55
across from the stadium
12:57
and
12:59
train stations right there
13:04
it is pretty neat how does all this
13:04
merchandise just in the neighborhoods
13:07
not even
13:08
on the ballpark property
13:14
see they've already turned the lights on
13:14
up there too
13:17
i hope a snow plow was not needed this
13:19
evening
13:26
over here is one of the
13:26
chicago fire departments
13:28
this building was erected in 1915 engine
13:32
78
13:34
here's more roof views this is known as
13:36
wrigley view and then turning around the
13:38
corner
13:40
around the stadium heading over towards
13:42
the front entrance
13:44
at the cub store here as well and inside
13:46
this particular chicago cub store quite
13:49
a few items you know jerseys

13:54
some appropriate
13:57
wears on as well
14:00

14:02
assorted items here in this case these
14:05
these are actually
14:07
real gold gloves here
14:09
in the in this case
14:21
now this is pretty neat world famous
14:21
indoor batting cages are inside
14:24
this world-class sports car bar here
14:27
called sluggers up top they have batting
14:29
cages
14:39
it's a pretty good artwork here on the
14:39
walls
14:44
spray painted on of course the banners
14:44
up top
14:45
this place over here has a bunch of holy
14:47
cows out front
14:49
a bunch of cows with
14:55
appropriate this is this one's wearing
14:55
like a jacket like a cubs jacket like a
14:57
cub shirt
14:59
and it says cow here i didn't even
15:01
realize this was over here until tampa j
15:03
informed me that there's this little
15:04
placard in front
15:06
this is where babe ruth
15:08
hit his supposed
15:11
quote called shot in 1932 world series
15:15
and a number of other things including
15:16
ernie banks 500th career home run
15:19
and carrie woods 2020 strikeout game
15:26
awesome
15:26
referred to as the friendly confines and
15:29
of course back in 2016 cubs made history
15:32
when the team won his first world series
15:35
in 108 years in the longest championship
15:38
drought in north american sports and as
15:41
of this moment snow flurries are
15:43
starting to fall from the heavens it is
15:44
now officially snowing
15:47
at wrigley not a heavy snow
15:49
but not rain
15:51
not sleet
15:52
little snow flurries that's actually
15:54
kind of kind of cool no pun intended
16:18
it is
16:18
chilly it is snowing inside wrigley
16:22
field i'm not sure if they're going to
16:23
do batting practice yeah this brings new
16:25
meaning to the words warming up because
16:27
they
16:28
really do have to warm up because it is
16:31
cold
16:33
out here and starting pitcher for the
16:35
raises shane mcclanahan how wild is this
16:38
you can just look down onto the road
16:40
here and then back into the stadium from
16:42
the bleacher seating wow yes absolutely
16:46
incredible
16:47
one of the most historic ballparks in
16:50
all of baseball
16:52
and i'm just walking around in this
16:55
freezing cold
16:56
temperatures right here as all the
16:58
pitchers are out there warming up all
17:00
the players are warming up
17:05
it is crisp
17:06
very windy look at the flag just taking
17:08
this opportunity to just walk around and
17:11
see
17:12
what can be seen on all the different
17:14
levels around this ballpark you got the
17:16
wavelength grill right over there
17:19
and then right here is a 1938
17:22
ticket stub world championship game
17:24
right over there here at the fan
17:26
services
17:27
ticket booth
17:37
now there is no batting practice but
17:37
they are
17:43
but they are taking some grinders and
17:44
kind of warm it up in the oven
17:50
talking to the usher she's saying
17:50
it's not every day that it snows it
17:51
wrigley so it's a pretty historic moment
17:54
it does snow but not every day
17:56
we got the grounds crew out there taking
17:58
care of businesses bringing the field
18:00
down
18:02
right over there
18:04
taking the little
18:06
carpet tarp off of the
18:09
pitcher's mound
18:11
starting to sweep up there
18:13
home plate
18:14
getting it all ready
18:21

18:32
game's about to begin
18:38

for this field so
20:18
pretty special moment for him i haven't
20:20
played here in years
20:26
i hope he gets a base hit
20:26
maybe even drives a home run that'd be
20:28
pretty cool
20:34
it's really interesting also yeah the
20:34
bull pins
20:37
are underneath
20:38
the bleacher seats out there
20:40
